Would ignorant be more befitting? I truly believe that there are those who would blow up the university (figuratively) to keep the name. I read where one name supporter went so far as taking UND hockey out of the NCAA to keep the name. I don't think any amount of discussion of information will dissuade them from their point of view.

Nice work there, Philly.

I cannot imagine the scheduling nightmares for an independent. Yes, I'm sure that UND really should drop back down and play Minot, Mayville and Crookston. I'm sure people will be lining up to the see those games. This isn't just about athletics. When UND decided to go Division I for all sports, the bar was elevated for the entire university. Your signature line is filled with pride of UND's accomplishments. Drop back down and watch those accomplishment start to dwindle. Being the only Division II school of the largest 4 Dakota schools would not be a place UND wants to be.

Faison says Big Sky tone has changed Okay clueless ones, try and smash some holes in this, This is real, folks.

The more I think about this, the more I come to the conclusion that the SBoHE has to take control of this issue. It cannot be left up to a statewide vote. You have the nickname supporters, the folks who want to see UND harmed and the ones who go to a voting booth without studying an issue and vote for it. That it a recipe for disaster for UND. I live in Florida and about 10 years ago, there was actually a vote for a constitutional amendment regarding pregnant pigs in a cage. I laughed when I first read about and obviously voted against it. It had no business being placed on the ballot. It passed and is now part of Florida's constitution. Maybe someone should start a petition that NDSU should be called the ______ (fill in the blank). Get enough signatures and put it out for vote. This whole fiasco is just plain stupid.

UND wins on the road 75-69

UND up 6 with 5 min. left

Huff has hit 4 3's and has 20 points. UND up by with 7 minutes left.

UND leading 38-33 at the half at Chicago State. Huff has 13 and Mitchell 9. Let's get a road win guys!!

I took a peek this afternoon at the bison and bunny boards. There is obvious glee that the Big Sky may give UND the boot. What I don't follow is how they think UND is causing this. UND admin has not been pushing to keep the name, much to the chagrin of some ardent name supporters. The Grand Forks congressional delegation voted against such measures. It seems the majority even here on this forum are not in favor of keeping the name due to the damage it would do. I don't know what the mood is like about the issue in Grand Forks overall. Yet the overall tenor on their respective boards is how stupid UND is and how they are getting what they deserve. Are the dumb masses from those board reading what a few siouxsports people post and projecting that towards UND and all UND fans? Hey chuckleheads, UND and most UND fans are in favor of dropping the name and moving on.

Behind some of the numbers....

I found a nice streaming radio station the other day. That is if you like new wave 80's music..

I don't typically quote myself, but what I said last June needs to happen.

UND breaks spring enrollment record

You really have to feel bad for UND baseball, insofar as scheduling. UND has just released the 2012 schedule. 51 games. The first 26 and 31 of the first 32 are away. 16 total home games. Tell me again why there is baseball in North Dakota. psssst.... lacrosse.

Capital improvements could be HD.

The link I provided is still there, but when you go to Icon's website it is no longer listed along with their other projects.

Found this piece pretty quick through Google... Title IX And The Trouble With Quotas

I was listening to a guest on a radio station on the way home today and she was talking about the Department of Education implementing Title IX for academics. She said that the DOE official says that the mechanism is already in place and they intend to implement it. The "problem" is that there are more male than female in the sciences and they want to "even" it out. Has anyone else heard about this? I just deleted out my political thoughts on the general direction of this country, as SiouxSports.com is a non-political forum.

The video and project info for the UND Athletics Complex has been removed from Youtube and the architects website. Is there something going on behind the scenes on the project??

The future is now...For the first time ever the Super Bowl will be streamed live, online. Choose from four unique camera angles, pause, rewind and connect on twitter and facebook.

Kind of what I thought.

You think UND is going to dominate the likes of Weber and go to the Dance in the first year? Hey, I'm an optimist, but that doesn't even sound close to reality. Weber is 10-1 in the Big Sky so far and 18-4 on the year.

North Dakota moving on without “Sioux’’ nickname
